It's a textbook example of the tragedy of the commons where the gain on the TV signal is owned by no one and thus not protected. There's no free rider element here, so I fail to see how this is a textbook case. The temperature at most public places isn't regulated by the government. Is it a tragedy that it's typically colder at the movie theater? No, experience tells you to dress a bit warmer. As with clothing and climate control systems, TV technology gives us the means to control our own environment: volume controls, DVRs that skip commercials, auto-leveling features, etc. Given how much we can control/regulate our own personal environments, and even to some extent in the marketplace by having merchants cater to our preferences, do we really need this legislation and is it a priority given the current state of affairs?
